Songwriter Series: Tiny Cities + Cynthia Catania & Rich

Singer-songwriters Melissa Anthony and Dennis King (SONOFDOV) team up to write songs to sparkle in the dim of winter. Together, Tiny Cities are an inspiring duo powered by friendship and songwriting. What began as a phone memo recording, quickly blossomed into the first single, "Hologram". Melissa takes the songwriting lead with her haunting delivery, capturing universal vulnerabilities and dark nostalgia. That same recording is what we hear today, with additional musical touches and supporting vocals by Dennis. 

Cynthia Catania grew up in the New York City music scene. Romanced by California and all things West Coast, she moved to Los Angeles on the heels of the Northridge earthquake. Inspired by DIY artists like Ani DiFranco, she immersed herself in the indie music world forming Saucy Monky with Dublin-born Annmarie Cullen. Her self-made indie label olivoiL records hosted events that brought the LA music community together. From 1999 to the late 2000s,  Indie Nights and Songwriters on Tap music series’ launched the careers of artists like Gaby Mareno, Amy Kuney; hosted soon to be stars like Sara Bareilles, plus veterans Colin Hay, Garrison Starr, and Jimmy Gnecco (of OURS).
